Yep...I'm 6'4" and I hate any vehicle with a lift up rear hatch (I've got a scar from a Mercury Villager...I DID love that van though).

I have peeled the hide off of my bald pate on a variety of vehicle door frames, tree branches, shelves, etc. Now that I am old and no longer give a shit about appearances I have started constantly wearing a boonie hat with a couple of paper towels folded up in the crown as padding.

Similar, but 6'3" Buying clothing is a royal pain in the ass.

Many years ago when it was customary to wear a suit to work, I bought my shirts at The Custom Shop, made to measure. Now, just trying to find a T-shirt or polo in a TALL size is aggravating. I need shorts that have a slightly longer inseam, so they don't find my like Daisy Dukes. Jeans or khakis with a 36" inseam are tough to find.

All trees in any of my yards get trimmed to at least 7 ft above the ground. I'm only 5'10", but I tend to walk into things without looking, or while looking down, so I protect my self. It is also handy for my compact tractor (with a canopy) to work underneath the tree.

Mountain Khakis makes good pants in 36" length, as does Eddie Bauer and LL Bean

If you're cheap like me, I get my 36" inseam khaki's at Old Navy (online, and get the "tall" version; the "big" version with exact same dimensions has a short front pocket that'll make you cuss). They're under $30 shipped.

Fine rant. All the pants I like are often only available with a 32 inch inseam and I need 34 or 36.If I do find ones with the right inseam, they are often out of stock or backordered.And being charged extra for tall sizes frosts my ass!

My wife comes from a family of 6'6" boys. She's 5'7" and married to me at 5'5" with shoes. She's very good at hemming pants as my size isn't available.

One year at ASU we had a guy on the hall that was 6'6" and looked like 5' of it was legs. He walked around hunched over with his head tilted sideways because of the head smashing issue. I'd see him on campus and say "Staighten up dude!" He'd smile and stand straight for a while.
